Here's another one with Gangster ML Zhen Ziqi 甄子琦. The FL The chemistry is excellent here. He's such a great actor despite the weak set up with the ML's motivations very unclear at the start. It's important to establish motivations early on so you can root for the right people. But it's still a fascinating premise with the ML and his mute lover. The FL iis also very good in the role. They've been contract lovers for a couple of years and one day she tells him that her family is in talks to form a marriage alliance. She tells him that she's willing to back out of it if he asks her so. He seems not to care and she ends up being engaged to his nephew. So that's interesting reversal of the usual hot uncle trope.

This drama is so good. The CP carries the drama. The ML is super violence though. Another case of me on my toes waiting for FL's bestie to turns bad that didn't happen

yes its ZhouYi....the ML wasnt involved with a white lotus girl....just a girl that hang round his mother hell bend on break him and his wife up....

 

i watch it last night too hahahah our timing couldnt be better hahaha

This is a marital problems drama and a case of personality growth. Both characters are flawed. They do love each other and married for love. She is insecure in their marriage while he is neglectful and annoy at her insecurities. He is a first time husband as well as her as a wife. So there are a lot to learn and there are many problems and adjustment to overcome. The vixen makes thing more complicated. Her amnesia helped both of them see their own shortcomings as a spouse clearer and they both work together to fix it. So all well and happy.

I like the ML but no idea who is he. Saw few of his dramas.

Heavy and intense drama about a relationship between a young man with an older woman his mother's peer.

was given the wrong test report, thinking she has some terminal illness and decided to strike out on her own and living a better life for herself.....

 

sparring off with her mother in law who see she is not good enough for her son....ML holding on the the FL not giving up....

 

 L：房    蕾(Fang,Lei)
ML：王奕然(Wang,Yi-Ran)

I watched this and posted it above I like the good lesson in this drama on how we should love ourselves first before love another people. Wang YiRan is great as usual and of course, handsome

This FL isn't my fav, she is too skinny for my taste. Every time I watched hers, I kept on worrying her limbs or waist might snap anytime. She has one drama with Lu Dan Dong, OMG! one of the most heart wrenching drama I had ever watch.

Yay... I like this actor. His drama where he had amnesia and tried to stop his wife from leaving him was so adorable. I've watched it a few times.

Another good one is the married for few years but never seen wifey trope. Wifey is a psychologist and after divorce he become her patient. Good story and acting. Good quality visual too. This one:

I noticed this ML is from a far far away group from the usual DY drama group. All of his cast mates including his CPs are people I had never seen in another DY dramas but they are good.

It's not just the classic case of poor communication and mistrust but when they started their relationship there were no clear parameters or stated expectations. 

Definitely not a miscommunication or misunderstanding. They started their relationship on the wrong foot and everything are wrong from there.

This ML that I don't know the name is a good one. All of his dramas are well made without too much absurd elements. He is nice looking too....

FL a nurse ML a doctor, FL had been in love with ML since back in university times......and had been trying her best to follow his footsteps....now out in the working world...their romance will start....MengNa slowly melted ML

 

WYR during his dyed hair days. Meng Na and Wang YiRan looked so young....Even his ex have not loss her baby fat yet but I prefer her fresh looks, now she has tons of makeup in her recent dramas.

Here's one with Wang Chenpeng and another FL. Her name's Zhao Xixi. She's a doctor and he's a commercial pilot in this drama They work for the same organization. They've been sleeping together for a couple of years and she's looking for more. They break up momentarily and then she finds out she's preggers. Word of warning... Lots of push and pull. And you'll be sweating angst. The ending is a bit of a cliffhanger but could be interpreted as an open ending. And... it's 4 hours. But I like it a lot and it showcases Wang Chenpeng's acting.

Just finished this 4 hours DY drama   Judging from the well written storyline, I think this is another book adaptation. Great story but I have to say this ML is unreliable. He keeps back and forth between wife and ex gf. Married and broke up with ex for 2 years already but keeps him and ex pic on the bedside table... FL is kinda doormat when it comes to the ML. The necklace thingy is a middle finger to all the DY drama with similar trope. The FL said, I don't know if you are in love with the necklace or with the person because when necklace with ex you loved her for 10 years and after you knew it's mine who say you love me.

FL's bestie is an infamous xiao san of DY and I kept waiting for her to turn and backstab her but none happened... Also FL's mother another infamous bad mother of DY, she is kinda overbearing but she actually cares about her daughter a lot. Even her SIL is the known villain of DY so I kept myself on my toes for the catastrophe from them but once again fortunately nothing happened....

IMHO, I think the ending is they got back together because she found out that he didn't sign the divorce agreement and obviously she can't get over him.

Gangster ML aka Zhen Ziqi in a contract marriage Beauty and the Beast story with the FL who is blind at first... then pretends to be blind. She's the only surviving member of a once prominent family. She marries into the Bo family to the oldest son who is a bit of a bad boy loose cannon. She later makes a deal with his dad to whip him into shape and become the heir to the family business.

I planned to watch this after WCP's 4 hours drama but too tired... Maybe tomorrow....

16 minutes ago, NiteWalker said:

have you seen this? this one not too bad either

Yes, I did and especially love the scene where she squatted down to listen to the 八卦 while being offered some 西瓜子 😂😂

This girl is okay too.....She is so much skinnier now, she has a drama with WCP where she birthed sextuplet after a one night stand.....

grabbing passerby and kiss it....lols and viola they strike it out with a rich man hahaha

I watched another version, the casts are more suitable though. The Da Su looked really like Da Su, this one is so young like xiao bai lian....

got to hat it to them....this times the ML looks great with the FL rather then, them pairing him up with some kiddo lols

Totally! Yu Long is super matured looking with acting chop to boot. Pairs him with young actress made him looks like a 变态 and he usually outperform them. He is great with Zhong Xi whose outperformed most of her MLs and the other actress in the fool wife drama.

gotta say WGG and SHN really looks the best together

This is hilarious..... Their assistants are so rich in expression..... The CP chemistry is superb, acting is great. Matured actors who are doing all in....

@NiteWalker

I love all the retro DY dramas....They are very relatable.... Unlike those billions and billions worth of money mentioned in CEO genre....

3 hours ago, NiteWalker said:

i just finish this....one minute FL seems to have the upper hands while the stepmother is still in planning still it happen, the plot is all over the place

The pairing is good but the story is bad...I dropped it around 1 hour...I almost died of boredom....

This pairing is gorg....Something like BJT's Reset, I think.... This is a PPL, WGG and SHN did one also.

42 minutes ago, NiteWalker said:

im sure u guys watch this before....this 1980s setting reborn and travel back in times....

 

well the ML is rich in this case 

I love this.....

Him again.....

Decent styling for a DY historical genre and the CP are great too....

This one is a rebirth revenge. I like this ML and even though the show is full of ridiculous elements, it's a fun watch. The FL has magic blood and mad surgical skills. The ML is a disabled CEO and it's interesting how his disability is used in the show. He doesn't recover until the final act and his real power is in his wealth, status and clout. He's no fool either.  The leads are more allies to start with but they gradually fall in love through a nice partnership.

I like this ML but sadly he rarely got good script.

Ooh ooh... The hot and spicy drama -- have I seen it? Do tell. My appetite has been whetted.

I caught this one over the last couple of days. Love the chemistry between the leads and both the actors are very likeable. Meng Na can be relied upon to pick up decent projects. Unlike a lot of other shows, this one feels a bit too short. The romance barely takes off and the story is over. With that kind of chemistry and only one kissing scene, it's such a waste. Visuals are striking and these two are a good fit for each other.

Their first drama together is the best, hot and spicy, no wasted of chemistry.... The second is fantasy/vampire which is a crap, I had a second hand embarrassment watching it.... This one is so so but their house is gorg....

The rebirth story, I like both CP.

This is a good drama with meaningful leassons....

Meng Na and Du YaFei, their third dramas together.

Revenge trope with real life couple Chen Gang and Zhou Yi.

@NiteWalker

I don't usually watch DY historical drama because not only the graphic but the styling especially the gentlemen's wigs are horrendous....Even Shen Hao Nan can't save the day.....

This gangster ML.....

In general I find these hidden identity spouse tropes rather silly. Who marries someone they've never met? But this one is okay for the most part (it doesn't take forever for either of them to realise who they are) although it is ridiculous that the male villain who is supposed to be in prison keeps getting out for one reason or another. The leads' chemistry is quite good as well. What's even more surprising is that this has a good ending.

 I usually FF a lot for this type of drama AND I will only watch it if I like the actor/s.

okie this story a bit crazy.....hahahhaa..daughter and mom sharing the same guy???

This FL has some quirky taste in choosing script. She is okay but I had seen her in some dark intense and an usual trope.

However, there's no denying that Wang Chenpeng sizzles in all the make out scenes. The guy is hot stuff. Very very hot. I think the glasses just adds more temperature to the room. And he has a nice voice as well. I've seen him in a few dramas already but it's nice to know his name. Thanks for the recommendation.

Me and @NiteWalker agreed in unison that he is one of the hottest male we have ever seen...... Another WCP's.....

ML: Bai Fang Wen

He is really a good actor. He can be a psycho, gangster, silly boy and debonair CEO. Love him... This drama is another remake with fresh comedic POV. The little boy is super cute and they chose the one that looks a lot like the dad.

 your ZLY girl hahahaha....in another drama....though diff ML i never seen her with him before or did i? in a trans into a book story type?

Never seen this ML and this drama before. I will try. I like her though, she is very expressive and theatrical.

Time travel trope....I meant this is new for DY because this time is they got time machine. This is one of the well written DY drama. ML is Wang YiRan, he is really good. No idea who is the FL. Acting wise WYR is always good but FL is a bit weak.
